Three Peculiarities Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier and regulating medicine, is characterized by three peculiarities, namely : 1st: 2d: 3d: The combination of the various remedial agents used. The proportion in which the roots, herbs, barks, etc., are mixed. The process by -which the active medicinal properties are secured. The result is amedicine of unusual strength and curative power, which effects cures heretofore unequalled. These peculiarities belong exclusively to'llood's Sarsaparilla, and are Unknown to Others Hood's Sarsaparilla Is prepared with the greatest skill and care, by pharmacists of education and long experience. Hence it is a medicine worthy of entire confidence.

Pocahontas, Iowa, is an ideal Repub lican town, and we could name Repuli-licans who should go there and live, as they could readily affiliate with the political meanness which predominates. Mr. Harlan, the Democratic Postmaster at Pocahontas has had a hard time try ing to reconcile his Republican neighbors to the novelty of having a Democratic officeholder among them. They first tried to freeze him out by mailing their letters at other points. Then they tried to make him resign by insulting him whenever they had to call on him for their mails. They put snakes in his letter box, nailed Confederate flags and insulting inscriptions over his door, and finally began stoning his house af ter nightfall, until they made him fire his gun over their heads. Then they indicted him, and thought they would get him into the penitentiary, but he got a change of venue, was acquitted at Humboldt, and is again steeping their souls in bitterness by handling the mails at Pocahontas. Tuttle's Record. The record of General James M. Tut-tle, of Iowa, who ban kicked up such a rumpus about President Cleveland's prospective visit to St. Louis, is not just as white as it might be. John P. Irish, a former Iowan, now editor of the Aha California, of San Francisco, thus speaks of him: This is another illustration of Cleve land's luck. If he could onlv go to St. Louis to be insulted bv a class of peo ple of whom Tuttle is a fair representa tive, it would undoubtedly assure his re-election. Tuttle, at the beginning of the war, enlisted, 1 believe, as captain of a company of Iowa infantry. In 1863 or 1864, while he was still in the field, the Democratic party of the State nom- nated him to be a candidate tor Gov ernor. He was accused of having com bined business with military service in tlie South in a very profitable manner. The Republicans insisted that he was a cotton speculator, and 1, in company with other Democratic speakers who took part in that canpaign, vigorously denied the charge. Of course, Tuttle was defeated by a big majority. At the close of the war he came home a ram pant Democrat, abusing Grant, Sher man, and other prominent Union ofh s. In 18(2 I served with Tuttle as a Democratic member of the Iowa Legislature. He went to bed at about midnight of a day in 1876 that I do not remember, and woke up in the morning Republican. He made a speech in which he said that if the Democrats should be successful in the campaign they would pav the rebel war debt, and asserted that the State of Missouri had voted $1,000,000 to pay the rebel claims in that Commonwealth. I enclosed a copy of Tuttle's speech with a letter to the Governor ot Missouri, asking tor the tacts in the case and received a replv from him, attested by the seal of the Commonwealth and the signature of the Secretary of State, pronouncing every one ot 1 utile s statements as a lie. 1 hat reply was published and Mr. Tuttle and myself have not since been upon speaking terms. You can judge for yourself how enthusiastic a Republican he must be and how devotedly he speaks for the ex-Union soldier, when he protests against the President s visit to St Louis at the time ot the encamp ment.

HtttTT Co., Po. M, e. '- -Portland, Maine. Harper s Weekly discussing John Sherman's Springfield speech, savs : The actual administration of a Democratic President has removed many apprehensions. The impression that the Republican control of the Government is the only really safe control has vanished. The Republican party in opposition has done little to restore its old prestige. 1 he first significant sign ot its apprehension of the changed condition was the tone of Mr. Sherman's speech at Nashville. It recognized both the sin cerity and the bravery of the Cofeder- ate side in the civil war. It hailed the restoration of national feeling, and the revival of industry in the old Confeder ate States. It acknowledged that new issues now commanded public attention. It did not assume any surrender of what tlie war had gained. The reception of this speech by Bourbon Republicanism has plainly alarmed Mr. Sherman, and the tone of his Springfield speech is that of Mr. Blaine's speech at Augusta after his defeat in 1884. The speech is an unworthy appeal to old animosities and the prejudices of a day that is past. Mr. Sherman even condescends to stigmatize the party of th 'Administration ga a Con- That Pesky Bird. The American people are awakening to the fact that the English sparrow is an intolerable nuisance. It has been fully demonstrated that he serves no good purpose whatever. He lives in tilth, revels in filth and scatters filth wherever he goes. Our smaller song birds will not associate with him, and where the sparrow abounds our merry warblers are absent. 1 he Jwiglish im portation in song does not equal a bullfrog, and his ceaseless chatter, chatter. chatter is an abominable nuisance. The small boy has our permission to sail in and do his best to exterminate him. A recent act of the Xew York Legis lature makes these feathered biped: outlaws, and declares it to be a misde meanor to feed or clothe them. How numerous they are in New York may be inferred from the statement that in tearing down an ivy vine from a Troy Church, recently, one hundred sparrow nests were destroyed. Regarding the present sparrow crop; the Sidney Journal says : If any of the English sparrows have fallen since last year, they have done so without our notice, for it seems though they were all here, principal and interest. What is the rate per cent, ot the sparrow s increase, any- It must crowd usury pretty close. As multipliers and replenishers they are a success. They beat ants for industry,- have no drones, and never lose a day. By the way, who ever saw a young sparrow learning to fly, or one halt-grown out ol the nest f iney stay at home, study the constitution and by laws ot their society, get the theory so bv heart that thev can practice it the verv first dav they venture out so per fectly that it takes an expert to tell an old sparrow from a young one. No doubt but they are the champion feather weights of the country. They are "sudden and quick in quarrel," and will build their nest in the cannon's mouth and spike the touch hole with mud. Next in importance to the question, "What shall we do with our daughters?" is what shall we do with our sparrows ? But the sparrow has a friend in the Reading Herald, which says: In spite of all that has been said as to the destruction of this little bird that we invited over from England a few years ago to share in the freedom and blessings of this great Republic, we do not see any diminution in the blessings which our people enjoy. We have bigger crops of fruits and berries, and of everything that is good, than we had before, and seem to sustain the in fliction remarkably well. W e do not Frm Philadelphia Times, Ind. A FLURRY OVER BATTLE FLAGS. There are a number of Confederate flags at Washington and at the capitols of some of the Northern States which were captured in the various battles of the late civil war, and there are a num ber of Union flags In the capitols of the Southern States which were likewise captured in battle. There has lately been a movement for a restoration of all the flags to their respective States, and application has been made from some of the Northern States for the return of their own battle flags which are preserved at Washington. The idea impressed the President favorably and the Adjutant General was directed to address the Governo.-s of all the States and offer to restore to their custody the flags of their respective States now in charge of the War Department. Some ot the political leaders ot the organized soldiers of the North have become as frantic over this proposition as if a new armed rebellion had broken out and was about to plunge the country into bloody war again. The Presi dent, seeing that his very proper pur pose had given offense to the weaker brethren, and doubting, on cohslaera' tion, the extent of his authoritv, has had the manly courage to recall his pro position, and it may be hoped that this ridiculous Hurry will subside. In point of tact, there is nothing to flurry about. If both sides are sensi ble1 enough to exchange their trophies of the war in shape of captured battle flags, it would be highly creditable all around; but if there are objections on either side, let the flags alone. They are harmless now, whether in V ashing-ton, Harrisburg or Richmond; the is sues they represented are inexorably settled and universally accepted, and the flags can remain in one place as well as another. The ancients erected of wood the monuments to celebrate their victories in civil wars, while their monuments to commemorate victories over hostile nations were of stone or enduring metals. They intended that the mementoes of civil war should perish with the wars thev celebrated. While their victories over other people shonld stand for all time. Thev were wiser than the aem- agogues of to-day, who seem to have no higher ambition than to keep in perpet ual glow the embers of fraternal strife. Senator Sumner was the first of our American statesmen to repeat the wise counsels ot the ancients by his proposition in the Senate to efface the name of every battle-field from the flags of the victorious soldiers of the LTnion. In the sudden ebullition of sectional hate that followed the proposition when the wounds of the conflict were yet fl'esh in every home, the Massachusetts Legisla ture passed resolutions ol censure ; Dtit a subsequent Legislature, in the cool reason of equal patriotism, expunged the censure from the records. If the soldiers of the blue and the gray want to exchange captured battle flags, let them do so ; if they want to keep them, let the flags remain where thev are. for neither the keeping nor the exchanging will reverse a line of history, or lessen or enlarge the heroism under both flags that is now confessed as the grandest of the world. number of apprentices to be aught date for Vice-President on the Republi- their trades in any shop, they did it for j can ticket next year, provided Mr. the purpose of preventing the market .

It was not necessary for General Sherman to write a public letter condemning the false attitude in which one arrant demagogue named Tuttle, of Iowa, has apparently placed the Grand Army of that State toward the Presi dent. The Grand Army Encampment will be held at St. Louis, next fall, and a committee of citizens of that city, embracing men of both parties, came to Washington specially to urge the President to visit St. Louis at the time the encampment is to be held, and the President gave a conditional promise to do so. The great mass of the veteran soldiers would have been glad to welcome the President as a guest on such an occasion, but one blatant demagogue, clothed with a little brief authority, has interviewed himself for the news papers in opposition to receiving the President, until General Sherman felt called upon to vindicate the soldiers of the Union against the disgrace into which a babbling fool would plunge them. The attempt to degrade the soldiers of the country by an open exhibition of disrespect for the President conies from one luttle, ot Iowa, who happens a whit the number of skilled working- men. W hat it has done, and all it has done, has been to prevent the sons of Americans both native and adopted from learning their father's trades ; it has had the inevitable result of forcing our young men, who might be earning") from lo to d0 a week as skilled arti sans, to accept salaries of from $5 to $10 as clerks or salesmen or bookkeepers, or, worse than that, to compel them to live a hand-to-mouth sort of life, doing anything or nothing, as their lack of training to any sort ot work rendered imperative. Our' workshops have not fewer mechanics in them than if there had never been a rule against appren tices. There was the demand for skill ed workmen, and there being not a suf ficient supply here our employers readily got it from abroad. They are constantly getting skilled workmen from over the sea, who come and take the places that the sons of our workingmen should be permitted to take, should, indeed, be welcomed to. lhat our streets are so full of idle, vicious young and middle-aged men is chiefly due to the extinction of the apprentices in our workshops. Ohitunrr. The sweetest face in all the world to me, Set in a frame of shining wavy hair, With eyes whose language was fidelity, lhat was my mother, was she not lair.' Zillah Wilson, wife of Stevenson Pe ters, (latelv deceased) was born near Lancaster, Fairfield county, Feb. 6th, 1809, and died at her home near East Ringgold, Ohio, April 29th, 1887, aged 78 years, 2 months and 23 days. She had been a sufferer for many years, and the last eight years of her life in particular, she bore indescribable pain, and all without a murmur. Four weeks before she died she fell and received in juries that finally caused blood poison, during which time she suffered the most agonizing misery, that she endured with marvelous patience and resig nation. Her prayer was, "Hide me, oh my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past;" her song, "Hallelujah over Jor dan. She truly was a model ot pa tience and meekness, and she is one that went up out of great suffering, her robes were washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb. She was one among the best of mothers kind to all, loyal to the church, indulgent with her children and there was nothing too hard for her to do; no pleasure too grea t for her to sacrifice for the comfort of those around her. " 'Tis counted something great to be a queen And bend a kingdom to a woman s will, To be a mother such as ours has been, Is something nobler still than this I ween. Her parent?, Nathaniel and Alice Wilson, were among the early pioneers of Fairfield county. With them she en dured some of the hardships of pioneer life. Being of a lively disposition, when possible she was singing and making melody for those around her, even when her suffering was greatest she was cheerful, but her sufferings are ended.

One of the oldest and most touching stories of a marriage was that of the Rev. Robert Stephen Hawker, who wrote "And Should Trelawny Die?" and many other stirring ballads. The Hawker marriage was certainly not a love match, to begin with. The young man, at twenty-one, found himself cut off by want of funds from pursuing his studies at Oxford, and he bethought himself of marriage as a means of solving his puzzle as to ways and means. There was a lady of about his mother's age, whom he had known all his life, a friend of his mother's, and his own godmother."She was twenty one years older than himself, and very fond of him. To this mature spinster the young Oxonian proposed, and was placidly accepted by her. They were married, and lived for forty years together in untroubled peace and comfort. Hawker grew to love his wife very devotedly, so that he thought no sacrifice too great for her happiness. She was totally blind during all the later years of her life, and the reverend poet, who himself actually hated novels, used to spend the largest part of every day in reading them aloud to her, since they were the chief amusement by which he could lighten her darkness. When she died hejwas bereft indeed. He would sit for long, silent days, brooding over his solitary fire; and, when anything went wrong in the house, he would always say : "Ah, if Charlotte had been here that would never have happened. The two articles of prime necessity and universal use on every table are bread and coffee. They are gambled in just as are stocks and nearly all the great products of the country. Lately a strong party ot speculative gamblers "cornered" wheat. They put up the price, and the bulls sheared the lambs as it went np; but finally the corner" broke and the bears sheared the lambs as wheat suddenly fell, and also sheared some of the bull shearers to financial nakedness. Some time ago a strong partv of spec ulative gamblers undertook to "corner' the coflee product of the world. Thev put it up in price and the bull gamblers sheared not only the speculative lambs but sheared every breakfast table as well. Finally, the "corner" broke itself, and the bears sheared the bulls on the fall. There is gratification in the announcement that the gamblers who "corner" the necessaries of life to tax consumers, are broken in their gambling game. If there is any one thing that gives more general satisfaction than any other, it is to see the gambling shearers sheared by their own keenly whetted greed. The Rev. John H. Sherrard, of Del-phos, O., writes: "I have just returned from the baptism of a little child at the home of its grandmother, in this town. I have never before seen such an assembly of godly people as were there present five generations, viz: The babe, three months old; the mother, twenty-one years old ; the grand-mother, forty- the the eastern sky, she passed through I nine years old ; the great-grand-mother, and walked in ' sixty-eigut years uiu, iiie great-great,- glory's morning gate Paradise.

A writer in the Henderson Journal, who has cultivated broom-corn for eleven years, says that the same amount of labor that will produce three acres of tobacco will produce twenty acres of broom-corn. Estimating both crops at 5 cents per pound, the good, lugs and trash are worth $1J0, while twenty acres of broom-corn at $125 per acre are worth $500. Besides, on every 500 pounds of broom-corn you will get 1,000 pounds of seed, which are worth more than the same number ot pounds ot oats. Frank G.

Three Peculiarities Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier and regulating medicine, is characterized by three peculiarities, namely : 1st: 2d: 3d: The combination of the various remedial agents used. The proportion in which the roots, herbs, barks, etc., are mixed. The process by -which the active medicinal properties are secured. The result is amedicine of unusual strength and curative power, which effects cures heretofore unequalled. These peculiarities belong exclusively to'llood's Sarsaparilla, and are Unknown to Others Hood's Sarsaparilla Is prepared with the greatest skill and care, by pharmacists of education and long experience. Hence it is a medicine worthy of entire confidence.

The bursting of the bubbles in the wheat and coffee speculations is no loss to the capital of the country, says the Philadelphia Record. It is only a change of the stakes froni one set of gamblers who have lost to another set of gamblers who have won. The capital that has been tied up in margins has been released, and the business world will be really benefited by the ending of the game: The losing gamblers will nurse their burned fingers for a time, and then the game will go on as before. It is nothing but a gamble, and men en gaged in legitimate business are to be congratulated that the gamblers have lost control of the wheat and coffee markets. disposing of the dead. Pocahontas, Iowa, is an ideal Repub lican town, and we could name Repuli-licans who should go there and live, as they could readily affiliate with the political meanness which predominates. Mr. Harlan, the Democratic Postmaster at Pocahontas has had a hard time try ing to reconcile his Republican neighbors to the novelty of having a Democratic officeholder among them. They first tried to freeze him out by mailing their letters at other points. Then they tried to make him resign by insulting him whenever they had to call on him for their mails. They put snakes in his letter box, nailed Confederate flags and insulting inscriptions over his door, and finally began stoning his house af ter nightfall, until they made him fire his gun over their heads. Then they indicted him, and thought they would get him into the penitentiary, but he got a change of venue, was acquitted at Humboldt, and is again steeping their souls in bitterness by handling the mails at Pocahontas. Tuttle's Record. The record of General James M. Tut-tle, of Iowa, who ban kicked up such a rumpus about President Cleveland's prospective visit to St. Louis, is not just as white as it might be. John P. Irish, a former Iowan, now editor of the Aha California, of San Francisco, thus speaks of him: This is another illustration of Cleve land's luck. If he could onlv go to St. Louis to be insulted bv a class of peo ple of whom Tuttle is a fair representa tive, it would undoubtedly assure his re-election. Tuttle, at the beginning of the war, enlisted, 1 believe, as captain of a company of Iowa infantry. In 1863 or 1864, while he was still in the field, the Democratic party of the State nom- nated him to be a candidate tor Gov ernor. He was accused of having com bined business with military service in tlie South in a very profitable manner. The Republicans insisted that he was a cotton speculator, and 1, in company with other Democratic speakers who took part in that canpaign, vigorously denied the charge. Of course, Tuttle was defeated by a big majority. At the close of the war he came home a ram pant Democrat, abusing Grant, Sher man, and other prominent Union ofh s. In 18(2 I served with Tuttle as a Democratic member of the Iowa Legislature. He went to bed at about midnight of a day in 1876 that I do not remember, and woke up in the morning Republican. He made a speech in which he said that if the Democrats should be successful in the campaign they would pav the rebel war debt, and asserted that the State of Missouri had voted $1,000,000 to pay the rebel claims in that Commonwealth. I enclosed a copy of Tuttle's speech with a letter to the Governor ot Missouri, asking tor the tacts in the case and received a replv from him, attested by the seal of the Commonwealth and the signature of the Secretary of State, pronouncing every one ot 1 utile s statements as a lie. 1 hat reply was published and Mr. Tuttle and myself have not since been upon speaking terms. You can judge for yourself how enthusiastic a Republican he must be and how devotedly he speaks for the ex-Union soldier, when he protests against the President s visit to St Louis at the time ot the encamp ment.

HtttTT Co., Po. M, e. '- -Portland, Maine. Harper s Weekly discussing John Sherman's Springfield speech, savs : The actual administration of a Democratic President has removed many apprehensions. The impression that the Republican control of the Government is the only really safe control has vanished. The Republican party in opposition has done little to restore its old prestige. 1 he first significant sign ot its apprehension of the changed condition was the tone of Mr. Sherman's speech at Nashville. It recognized both the sin cerity and the bravery of the Cofeder- ate side in the civil war. It hailed the restoration of national feeling, and the revival of industry in the old Confeder ate States. It acknowledged that new issues now commanded public attention. It did not assume any surrender of what tlie war had gained. The reception of this speech by Bourbon Republicanism has plainly alarmed Mr. Sherman, and the tone of his Springfield speech is that of Mr. Blaine's speech at Augusta after his defeat in 1884. The speech is an unworthy appeal to old animosities and the prejudices of a day that is past. Mr. Sherman even condescends to stigmatize the party of th 'Administration ga a Con- That Pesky Bird. The American people are awakening to the fact that the English sparrow is an intolerable nuisance. It has been fully demonstrated that he serves no good purpose whatever. He lives in tilth, revels in filth and scatters filth wherever he goes. Our smaller song birds will not associate with him, and where the sparrow abounds our merry warblers are absent. 1 he Jwiglish im portation in song does not equal a bullfrog, and his ceaseless chatter, chatter. chatter is an abominable nuisance. The small boy has our permission to sail in and do his best to exterminate him. A recent act of the Xew York Legis lature makes these feathered biped: outlaws, and declares it to be a misde meanor to feed or clothe them. How numerous they are in New York may be inferred from the statement that in tearing down an ivy vine from a Troy Church, recently, one hundred sparrow nests were destroyed. Regarding the present sparrow crop; the Sidney Journal says : If any of the English sparrows have fallen since last year, they have done so without our notice, for it seems though they were all here, principal and interest. What is the rate per cent, ot the sparrow s increase, any- It must crowd usury pretty close. As multipliers and replenishers they are a success. They beat ants for industry,- have no drones, and never lose a day. By the way, who ever saw a young sparrow learning to fly, or one halt-grown out ol the nest f iney stay at home, study the constitution and by laws ot their society, get the theory so bv heart that thev can practice it the verv first dav they venture out so per fectly that it takes an expert to tell an old sparrow from a young one. No doubt but they are the champion feather weights of the country. They are "sudden and quick in quarrel," and will build their nest in the cannon's mouth and spike the touch hole with mud. Next in importance to the question, "What shall we do with our daughters?" is what shall we do with our sparrows ? But the sparrow has a friend in the Reading Herald, which says: In spite of all that has been said as to the destruction of this little bird that we invited over from England a few years ago to share in the freedom and blessings of this great Republic, we do not see any diminution in the blessings which our people enjoy. We have bigger crops of fruits and berries, and of everything that is good, than we had before, and seem to sustain the in fliction remarkably well. W e do not Frm Philadelphia Times, Ind. A FLURRY OVER BATTLE FLAGS. There are a number of Confederate flags at Washington and at the capitols of some of the Northern States which were captured in the various battles of the late civil war, and there are a num ber of Union flags In the capitols of the Southern States which were likewise captured in battle. There has lately been a movement for a restoration of all the flags to their respective States, and application has been made from some of the Northern States for the return of their own battle flags which are preserved at Washington. The idea impressed the President favorably and the Adjutant General was directed to address the Governo.-s of all the States and offer to restore to their custody the flags of their respective States now in charge of the War Department. Some ot the political leaders ot the organized soldiers of the North have become as frantic over this proposition as if a new armed rebellion had broken out and was about to plunge the country into bloody war again. The Presi dent, seeing that his very proper pur pose had given offense to the weaker brethren, and doubting, on cohslaera' tion, the extent of his authoritv, has had the manly courage to recall his pro position, and it may be hoped that this ridiculous Hurry will subside. In point of tact, there is nothing to flurry about. If both sides are sensi ble1 enough to exchange their trophies of the war in shape of captured battle flags, it would be highly creditable all around; but if there are objections on either side, let the flags alone. They are harmless now, whether in V ashing-ton, Harrisburg or Richmond; the is sues they represented are inexorably settled and universally accepted, and the flags can remain in one place as well as another. The ancients erected of wood the monuments to celebrate their victories in civil wars, while their monuments to commemorate victories over hostile nations were of stone or enduring metals. They intended that the mementoes of civil war should perish with the wars thev celebrated. While their victories over other people shonld stand for all time. Thev were wiser than the aem- agogues of to-day, who seem to have no higher ambition than to keep in perpet ual glow the embers of fraternal strife. Senator Sumner was the first of our American statesmen to repeat the wise counsels ot the ancients by his proposition in the Senate to efface the name of every battle-field from the flags of the victorious soldiers of the LTnion. In the sudden ebullition of sectional hate that followed the proposition when the wounds of the conflict were yet fl'esh in every home, the Massachusetts Legisla ture passed resolutions ol censure ; Dtit a subsequent Legislature, in the cool reason of equal patriotism, expunged the censure from the records. If the soldiers of the blue and the gray want to exchange captured battle flags, let them do so ; if they want to keep them, let the flags remain where thev are. for neither the keeping nor the exchanging will reverse a line of history, or lessen or enlarge the heroism under both flags that is now confessed as the grandest of the world. number of apprentices to be aught date for Vice-President on the Republi- their trades in any shop, they did it for j can ticket next year, provided Mr. the purpose of preventing the market .

It was not necessary for General Sherman to write a public letter condemning the false attitude in which one arrant demagogue named Tuttle, of Iowa, has apparently placed the Grand Army of that State toward the Presi dent. The Grand Army Encampment will be held at St. Louis, next fall, and a committee of citizens of that city, embracing men of both parties, came to Washington specially to urge the President to visit St. Louis at the time the encampment is to be held, and the President gave a conditional promise to do so. The great mass of the veteran soldiers would have been glad to welcome the President as a guest on such an occasion, but one blatant demagogue, clothed with a little brief authority, has interviewed himself for the news papers in opposition to receiving the President, until General Sherman felt called upon to vindicate the soldiers of the Union against the disgrace into which a babbling fool would plunge them. The attempt to degrade the soldiers of the country by an open exhibition of disrespect for the President conies from one luttle, ot Iowa, who happens a whit the number of skilled working- men. W hat it has done, and all it has done, has been to prevent the sons of Americans both native and adopted from learning their father's trades ; it has had the inevitable result of forcing our young men, who might be earning") from lo to d0 a week as skilled arti sans, to accept salaries of from $5 to $10 as clerks or salesmen or bookkeepers, or, worse than that, to compel them to live a hand-to-mouth sort of life, doing anything or nothing, as their lack of training to any sort ot work rendered imperative. Our' workshops have not fewer mechanics in them than if there had never been a rule against appren tices. There was the demand for skill ed workmen, and there being not a suf ficient supply here our employers readily got it from abroad. They are constantly getting skilled workmen from over the sea, who come and take the places that the sons of our workingmen should be permitted to take, should, indeed, be welcomed to. lhat our streets are so full of idle, vicious young and middle-aged men is chiefly due to the extinction of the apprentices in our workshops. Ohitunrr. The sweetest face in all the world to me, Set in a frame of shining wavy hair, With eyes whose language was fidelity, lhat was my mother, was she not lair.' Zillah Wilson, wife of Stevenson Pe ters, (latelv deceased) was born near Lancaster, Fairfield county, Feb. 6th, 1809, and died at her home near East Ringgold, Ohio, April 29th, 1887, aged 78 years, 2 months and 23 days. She had been a sufferer for many years, and the last eight years of her life in particular, she bore indescribable pain, and all without a murmur. Four weeks before she died she fell and received in juries that finally caused blood poison, during which time she suffered the most agonizing misery, that she endured with marvelous patience and resig nation. Her prayer was, "Hide me, oh my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past;" her song, "Hallelujah over Jor dan. She truly was a model ot pa tience and meekness, and she is one that went up out of great suffering, her robes were washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb. She was one among the best of mothers kind to all, loyal to the church, indulgent with her children and there was nothing too hard for her to do; no pleasure too grea t for her to sacrifice for the comfort of those around her. " 'Tis counted something great to be a queen And bend a kingdom to a woman s will, To be a mother such as ours has been, Is something nobler still than this I ween. Her parent?, Nathaniel and Alice Wilson, were among the early pioneers of Fairfield county. With them she en dured some of the hardships of pioneer life. Being of a lively disposition, when possible she was singing and making melody for those around her, even when her suffering was greatest she was cheerful, but her sufferings are ended.

One of the oldest and most touching stories of a marriage was that of the Rev. Robert Stephen Hawker, who wrote "And Should Trelawny Die?" and many other stirring ballads. The Hawker marriage was certainly not a love match, to begin with. The young man, at twenty-one, found himself cut off by want of funds from pursuing his studies at Oxford, and he bethought himself of marriage as a means of solving his puzzle as to ways and means. There was a lady of about his mother's age, whom he had known all his life, a friend of his mother's, and his own godmother."She was twenty one years older than himself, and very fond of him. To this mature spinster the young Oxonian proposed, and was placidly accepted by her. They were married, and lived for forty years together in untroubled peace and comfort. Hawker grew to love his wife very devotedly, so that he thought no sacrifice too great for her happiness. She was totally blind during all the later years of her life, and the reverend poet, who himself actually hated novels, used to spend the largest part of every day in reading them aloud to her, since they were the chief amusement by which he could lighten her darkness. When she died hejwas bereft indeed.

They put up the price, and the bulls sheared the lambs as it went np; but finally the corner" broke and the bears sheared the lambs as wheat suddenly fell, and also sheared some of the bull shearers to financial nakedness. Some time ago a strong partv of spec ulative gamblers undertook to "corner' the coflee product of the world. Thev put it up in price and the bull gamblers sheared not only the speculative lambs but sheared every breakfast table as well. Finally, the "corner" broke itself, and the bears sheared the bulls on the fall. There is gratification in the announcement that the gamblers who "corner" the necessaries of life to tax consumers, are broken in their gambling game. If there is any one thing that gives more general satisfaction than any other, it is to see the gambling shearers sheared by their own keenly whetted greed. The Rev. John H. Sherrard, of Del-phos, O., writes: "I have just returned from the baptism of a little child at the home of its grandmother, in this town.

A writer in the Henderson Journal, who has cultivated broom-corn for eleven years, says that the same amount of labor that will produce three acres of tobacco will produce twenty acres of broom-corn. Estimating both crops at 5 cents per pound, the good, lugs and trash are worth $1J0, while twenty acres of broom-corn at $125 per acre are worth $500. Besides, on every 500 pounds of broom-corn you will get 1,000 pounds of seed, which are worth more than the same number ot pounds ot oats. Frank G.
